The Alabama darter (Etheostoma ramseyi) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to the eastern United States , where it occurs mostly below the fall line of the Alabama River drainage. It is also relatively common in headwater tributaries to the Cahaba River above the fall line.[2]
The Tombigbee darter was first formally described in 1994 by Royal Dallas Suttkus and Reeve Maclaren Bailey with the type locality given as Beaver Creek, a tributary of the Alabama River in Wilcox County, Alabama.[3] The specific name honors the United States ichthyologist John S. Ramsey.[4]
